HR 5458 renews and updates the CCAMPIS program, authorizing $500 million per year from 2026 through 2031 for the Department of Education to give grants to colleges. Schools can use grants of $75,000 to $2,000,000, lasting five years and renewable, to set up on-campus child care, offer subsidized care, or provide before- and after-school programs.
Colleges and universities with at least 150 Pell Grant recipients qualify to apply. The program mainly benefits college students who are also parents, especially those with lower incomes.
Schools must report data on students served and meet child care quality standards within three years, adding compliance obligations. The program also commits federal funding over six years, affecting taxpayers.
